Chapter 126 - Li Ming Han's Intention

The meeting began in time with most of the board of directors showed up.

Of course... this time, her Second Aunt and her cousin, Li Mu Chen could not attend the meeting as they were both not part of the directors. However, among the members of directors, half of them were Zhao Wei's people.

In the first half of the meeting, they were discussing the progress on a few ongoing projects around Capital City. Once everyone had reported what they needed to report, everyone who was presented had their eyes on Chairman Li Ren Xin.

Everyone knew that he was going to announce the QL Group project in B City. The last time that Li Qin Yao had joined the shareholder meeting, the directors have heard about the Tourism City project in B City.

Because it would be a profitable project for QL Group, and it was the first project that QL Group outside of Capital City, everyone was anticipating to know the result.

Though a few of them did not have a good impression on Li Qin Yao due to her scandal two years ago, they were happy to hear that QL has won their project.

Who would not like it when they know that the project would bring them a lot of money?

After waiting for a while, the Chairman finally announced that Li Qin Yao had won the bidding in B City. He then called Li Qin Yao and let her explained the project.

Li Qin Yao stood up and began to explain about the project and their next plan. When they heard that the MH Group from L City will be collaborating to build an amusement park, none of the directors were surprised. They have long heard that Li Qin Yao was an acquaintance with VP Mo.

However, the directors could not hide their surprise upon hearing that Zhang Group Worldwide was part of the investors.

Who among them had not heard of Zhang Group? They had a few luxury hotels in the country as well as in a few parts of the world.

But, how on earth did Li Qin Yao be acquaintance with someone from Zhang Group that they were willing to invest that much? When Li Qin Yao was still working for QL two years ago, none of them had heard that she had made such a connection.

Furthermore, Li Qin Yao managed to convince someone from NEXT Group to invest in her project. Everyone had heard that the President of NEXT Group who had returned to the country not long ago, start-up his company and rose steadily. Most of everyone in the business world was impressed by that young man.

In the end, one of the directors could no longer stop their curiosity and asked about her connection with those two groups.

Of course, Li Qin Yao only told them that she was able to know them after living in B City for two years. Coincidentally, Zhang Group had heard that QL was looking for investors, and they wanted to join in.

Even if the directors did not believe in her words, there was nothing they could do about it. Even if they looked into the matter, they would only found out the same thing that she had said. Everything she had said was the truth anyway.

Everyone started to disperse once the meeting ended.

Once she stepped out of the room, Li Qin Yao saw that Zhao Wei was waiting at a corner and a director walked over to her to report whatever that was discussed during the meeting. Her grandfather and Li Mu Bai both stayed in the meeting room to continue discussing some other matters. While Li Ming Han followed her around to the elevator.

"Why are you following me?" Li Qin Yao sighed exasperatedly as she pressed on the elevator button.

"It's lunch hour," Li Ming Han spread both arms. "Cousin Sister, should we go for lunch together?"

"Shouldn't you find Miss Bai and have lunch together?"

Li Ming Han waved his hand. "She had to entertain some of her clients. Therefore, I am very free right now."

Her brow furrowed as Li Qin Yao continued to stare at her cousin. She had clearly remembered that both her and Li Ming Han were not close to each other. It was only after she had returned to Capital City to propose the project to the shareholders that Li Ming Han was starting to get close to her.

At first, Li Qin Yao had thought that Li Ming Han only wanted to gain her vote to win the right to manage the project in the west part of the city. However, it looked like her cousin had not stopped trying to get close to her even after he had won the project.

Of course, Li Qin Yao was suspicious of Li Ming Han's intention. In her current situation, it doesn't look like she would be able to help him much. Unless if Li Ming Han intended to keep his eyes on her.

The elevator arrived, and the two of them entered at the same time. Both of them stood at a corner, watching each other.

"Cousin Sister, you don't have to be wary of me," Li Ming Han suddenly said. His usual sunny smile stayed on his face. "Though the three of us, you, me, and Cousin Mu Bai were competing for the President position before, both I and Cousin Mu Bai would not do anything to hurt you."

Li Qin Yao was startled when Li Ming Han suddenly said those words. Could it be that her expression was so obvious that Li Ming Han was able to guess what was on her mind?

"Cousin Mu Bai at least has his mother to look after him, but with me, I am the only one who chose to work for QL. When Eldest Uncle was alive, he was the one who mentored me when I first entered the company." The smile on his smile widened, but there was a hint of sadness in his expression. "Back then, the Eldest Uncle always told me to look after you. Even though I always said that I will look over for you, I still could not do anything to help you two years ago."

Li Qin Yao continued to stare at Li Ming Han in astonishment until the elevator let out a 'ding' sound and the door slid open.

Seeing that they have arrived at their floor, Li Ming Han then pulled her cousin out of the elevator and let the others entered.

When Li Qin Yao turned to look at her cousin again, his expression was back as usual. Li Ming Han pulled her towards the exit as he listed out a few good restaurants around.

"Miss Li."

Li Qin Yao paused when she heard that familiar voice. She turned towards the direction and saw that it was Xiao Ye.
